Double Standards Exposed: New Ilorin Chief Imam Prostrates Before Emir, Same Muslims Who Dragged Lateef Adedimeji for Kneeling Before Ooni Stay Silent Earlier today, the Grand Mufti of Ilorin led the newly appointed Chief Imam of Ilorin, the Mallami Ubandoma of Ilorin, alongside other prominent Islamic scholars, to the Emir's Palace to express gratitude to the Emir of Ilorin for the appointment. During the visit, the new Chief Imam prostrated before the Emir. The incident has exposed a glaring double standard. The same Muslims who viciously dragged Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji for kneeling and prostrating before the Ooni of Ife are now completely silent. Their own Chief Imam prostrated before a traditional ruler, yet no condemnation, no outrage, no accusations of shirk.

You waged war against other religions, preached religious intolerance, and encouraged the erasure of Yoruba culture and traditions. Look at where it has gotten us. Innocent children are in captivity, and you are all in hiding after introducing this nonsense into our society. This is not Islam. You are disgracing the rest of us Muslims." — Islamic cleric blasts extreme preachers in Yorubaland.

“Dangote and I bought the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries. I owned 20% of that consortium, and of course, the transaction was reversed by the administration that came in at the time. What a great shame. Today, look at what Dangote has accomplished. To me, this is a lesson that government cannot successfully run businesses, and government should desist from trying to do so.” —Femi Otedola

"I'll not lie to anyone. I'm involved in Yoruba traditional spiritual practices, and I will not enter Jahannam (hellfire) because I'm Yoruba. Both my parents are Yoruba, I was born and raised in Yorubaland, and I still live in Yorubaland. Therefore, the Yoruba spirituality is part of my identity, and I can benefit from it for the rest of my life." — Alfa Bamidele declares.
